A
word from the President
In the
wake of the current problems in Grizzly Athletics, we have in process
a full review of internal and external relationships.
I have stated publicly how much we appreciate the support provided
by the National Advisory Board for Grizzly Athletics (NABGA), the
Grizzly Scholarship Association (GSA), and individual donors. I have
also made it clear that none of the blame or responsibility for the
accounting errors and other problems that occurred accrues to NABGA,
GSA, or the UM Foundation.
In response, Chairman John Mercer of the Montana Board of Regents
asked that I convey to the members of the NABGA and GSA and all our
friends the gratitude of the Regents and the entire University community
for their vital assistance.
However, it makes good sense to seize this occasion to discuss with
all the stakeholders the relationships that currently exist and identify
ways to strengthen them. I want very much to hear from you about your
perceptions of what occurred and ways to restore trust in the institution
and its programs.
To do so, I will welcome any written comments you care to send along.
Comments may be mailed to President’s Office, Main Hall, The
University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812.
Thank you very much for all that you do for UM and Grizzly Athletics.
Working together, I have complete confidence that we can assure the
continued success of the programs.
— George M. Dennison, UM President
